The Rotary Club of Scenic 7 celebrated the passing of the gavel as 18 month president Mary McNamer passed her gavel to new club president Lisa Carey at Molly O'Brien's on Highway 7 last Thursday.
Molly O'Brien's is the new meeting place for the club. The meetings begin at 12:10 and conclude at 1 p.m.. Attendees have the option of dining while they meet.
Mary McNamer was recognized for her hard work in helping to get the club organized and well on its way to obtaining charter status. McNamer said she became president because she was the only one in the newly formed club with prior Rotary experience. She said her time in office was enhanced by the support of members of the Rotary Club of Hot Springs Village, especially Tony Cifelli, Spencer Jordan and Paul Bridges. Two Rotary Club of HSV members selected to join the Scenic 7 club, Bill Johnson and Tom Hightower.
In Lisa Carey's remarks she compared the club members to the signers of the United States Declaration of Independence. The signers were from varied backgrounds, many reflected in the Scenic 7 club. The signers gave of themselves for a common cause and purpose, similar to the Scenic 7 members dedication to service above self.
